A preliminary census of the macrofungi of Mt Wellington, Tasmania- the sequestrate species

This is the fourth and final contribution in a series of papers providing a preliminary documentation of the macrofungi of Mt Wellington, Tasmania. The earlier papers dealt with the gilled Basidiomycota, the non-gilled Basidiomycota and the Ascomycota, respectively, excluding the sequestrate species. The present paper completes the series by dealing with the sequestrate species, of which seven Ascomycota, 76 Basidiomycota, three Glomeromycota and one Zygomycota were found. Seven new genera and 25 new species to be formally described elsewhere, are recorded
